Truth. Cars depreciate enough without buying an unreliable money pit. That alone would keep me from buying a Chrysler. They were in trouble for a reason, and never should have been bailed out.

The idea is to KEEP American dollars, for the most part, in America. Letting the American companies fail allows for the foreign cars to reign. Not good for us. Not only that but the government is supposed to PROTECT competition. By letting that many car makers fail would cause a huge problem with car maker oligopolies. Basic economics.
Additionally, many of the foreign companies are subsidized by their governments. The true cost of their product is not cut and dry. So do we want only cars subsidized by their governments not ones subsidized by ours? We pay either way but we don't get the same benefits for our economy and our people.

If anyone truly thinks we have free market capitalism in the US or anywhere else in the world they are delusional.
